Gena Burnham Obituary
My mom went to cosmetology school, she was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. She was an avid reader, loved to spend time with her family and loved to listen to music. She was a strong woman with a sweet and kind soul.
She was preceded in death by Melvin Edward Burnham, they were married 50 plus years, her mother Lillian Barber, and her brother Larry Petty.
Survivors include daughter Robecca Reil, daughter Jana Burnham, and granddaughter Kaitlin Smith.
